Kihtaled - A Caldari trade mission consisting of executives and diplomats from all eight major megacorporations arrived in the Khanid Kingdom today. To the surprise of many here, the trade mission was led by Haatakan Oiritsuu, dethroned former CEO of the Kaalakiota Corporation, who has been in seclusion since the end of May. The Caldari delegation is tasked with negotiating a number of new trade deals with the Khanid Kingdom, including supply contracts for the Navy and Khanid Innovations. However, [...]
An unusual dispute, concerning an environmental matter in the Tennen system of the Caldari Border Zone, will shortly be brought before the Caldari Business Tribunal (CBT). The legal case concerns the Tennen VI Southern Island Continent Wildlife Preserve (SICP), a Caldari State Park, which, despite that coveted status, is a corporate entity owned by a variety of shareholders. The Park Board, which recently came under the control of majority shareholder Nugoeihuvi Corporation (NOH), has for the past six [...]
During fleet operations on the 12th, a detachment of vessels belonging to the members of the State Protectorate (STPRO) travelled through hostile space to assist the 24th Imperial Crusade (24IC) in their conflict with the Tribal Liberation Force (TLIB). The STPRO fleet of 140+ vessels joined with the 24IC fleet to make a combined fleet of almost 200 vessels. This joint fleet executed a pincer movement, coming upon the TLIB fleet in Otelen and totally decimating it with only minor losses. Once again [...]
Last weekend emissaries of the Caldari State and the Gallente Federation gathered at the Crielere Research Laboratories to confer about the future and direction of their joint research project, estimated to have cost the two governments in excess of 100 billion ISK in the relatively short period of time since its instatement. Jorouette Duvolle and Otro Gariushi (CEOs of Duvolle Laboratories and the Ishukone Corporation, respectively) played host to attendees, which numbered many high-ranking [...]
High-ranking CONCORD officials have accused several prominent Caldari weapon manufacturers of promoting war and violence in many parts of the world. The Caldari armament industry has in recent years increasingly turned its eyes outside the State to do business, as the domestic market dwindles. Though most of these exports go to legitimate sources it is estimated that as much as 20% ends up in the hands of the less scrupulous social elements. CONCORD has many times in the past issued stern warnings to [...]
The Caldari State has revealed that the budget for the Caldari Navy will be slashed for the 10th consecutive year. A high-ranking official was quoted as saying: “The war with the Federation is long since over and in our estimate there is no imminent threat on the horizon. Besides, our annual spending for CONCORD forces has been on the rise, which counterbalances the cuts for the Navy. We are confident that despite these cuts our Navy will still be more than capable of performing its duty 100%.” The [...]
New Caldari - As news of Tibus Heth's astounding victory in reclaiming Caldari Prime broke across the Caldari State, citizens took to the streets. Numerous corporations suspended the rest of the work day, allowing employees to take part in the celebrations. In all of the major cities, the feeling was overwhelmingly one of pride, with large throngs of celebrants shouting chants in support of Tibus Heth as images came in of him raising the Caldari flag over their homeworld. Reports of mass Gallentean [...]
New Caldari - The Caldari people remained solemnly glued to the news networks as they watched the Amarr defend against the Minmatar invasion. In a show of solidarity with the Amarr Empire several statements of support have issued forth from the State over the last hour. Events took a sudden turn when those same screens were suddenly filled with footage of grey-hued Caldari Navy vessels pouring over Federation borders. Vast arrays of Federation surveillance drones, normally used to transmit live [...]
Following the reactions from nations across the cluster, the Caldari people have spoken out in overwhelming support of the Heth reforms, claiming outsiders aren't in any position to judge their success. Yesterday Echelon Entertainment hosted a day-long forum, inviting people working in various occupations to attend and offer their opinion of the changes. Excerpts from the forum were screened on Caldari networks throughout today. The comments coming from State citizenry were for the most part positive [...]
While Sukuuvesta Corporation has been in the spotlight these last few days because of the Protein Delicacies scandal, it has until now kept quiet about the whole thing. Yesterday they spoke for the first time about the matter. That Protein Delicacies are made from garbage was not mentioned at all. Instead, a scathing attack was made on the Quafe company for their unethical industrial espionage. An agent working for Quafe managed to breach the security of the Sukuuvestaa Corporation and infiltrate one [...]
For the first time a Caldari official has given a public indication for the role of the research project site, that seems to be a joint operation by the Gallente Federation and the Caldari State. In a statement released today by the head of operation for the State, Yaku Makinonu, he said the research facilities being constructed in the Crielere system where for the 'future good of all space farers' and that any new technologies discovered at the site would benefit everyone. Bearing this in mind [...]
ERAM - The Scope is receiving reports that Zainou Biotech scientist Hilen Tukoss has fled his home station in Otosela and defected to the Minmatar Republic alongside almost two hundred and fifty other research staff. Although these reports remain unconfirmed, locator agents place Tukoss in Eram, Metropolis, at the Eifyr & Co. Biotech production plant. Both Tukoss and Eifyr & Co. representatives have refused invitations from Scope reporters to comment on the rising speculation. On condition of [...]
ERAM - The defection of Zainou scientist Hilen Tukoss has provoked calls for sanctions against his new employer Eifyr & Co. in addition to the offer of a 750m ISK bounty for his assassination. Only a day after giving his interview to The Scope, former Zainou employee Hilen Tukoss issued a communication to the Intergalactic Summit. Titled Arek'Jaalan, the release notified the capsuleer community of his intent to establish two communications networks: "I'd like to establish a series of communication [...]
Disbelief, sorrow, anger. These three words don't do justice to the feelings of Minmatar freedom fighters who have been fighting and dying for the cause for years now. To them, the slave farms run by their own countrymen are even worse than Amarr slavery. A betrayal of this magnitude serves to eliminate all that they have worked for. "Prime minister Karan Midular no longer represents our people." said Makkar , veteran warrior of the Oracle tribe, earlier today during a rare interview. "We would have a [...]
The Ashen Lion Mining and Production Consortium is holding two races tomorrow in the Molden Heath region of the Minmatar Republic. I had the opportunity to speak with Benilopax, Co-CEO of the ALMPC, who had the following to say: "With these races, I hope to bring my local Constellation together, as well as all of the other corporations who will join the festivities tomorrow." There will be two main races; the first, to begin at 15:00 EVE Time, will consist of a waypoint-to-waypoint flight around the [...]
As Sansha's Nation continues its renewed offensive against the citizens of New Eden, many have called for the four empires to band together, as in centuries past, and destroy the threat as one. These calls, however, appear to have so far fallen on deaf ears. "Sansha's Nation was a threat over a century ago," said Professor Fontine Mereux of the University of Caille, a leading expert on the history of CONCORD. "But in the cluster's darkest hour, all of the empires banded together to smash them. [...]
As Yonis Ardishapur's speaking tour winds down, an upswell of support for the Royal Heir has led to calls he be given expanded influence over the Empire's affairs. Perhaps inspired by the open courts Lord Ardishapur has held in his own domains, many have suggested that Ardishapur be given judiciary powers across the Empire. Many supporters have also pointed to the "near-miraculous" recovery of the Ammatar Mandate as reason for an expansion of Ardishapur's powers. Currently, the calls remain disjointed [...]
While Eman Autrech and Mentas Blaque launched their election campaigns with only the minimal of hitches, current president Souro Foiritan was left sitting in the dust looking like a fool. Foiritan has never been known to be the most prepared or meticulous of men, but even his blasé reputation can’t save him some blushes now. While the thoroughly trained delegates of Autrech and Blaque are busy stoking the campaign fires of their respective masters, Foiritan’s supporters have nothing but pitiful embers [...]

Unknown, J112042 - The rush to explore and exploit uncharted systems on the other side of unstable wormholes leads capsuleers to take ever increasing risks with their ships and crews. While the potential rewards from gathering artefacts amongst the Sleeper and Talocan ruins are undoubtedly high, pioneers face many risks in their pursuit of this arcane technology. One such pioneer, Foot M of FM Corp, recently discovered the consequence of these risks first hand as his Chimera class carrier 'HMS [...]
L1YK-V - The ongoing conflict between the FREGE and Ka-Tet alliances escalated into a full scale fleet battle in the drone regions yesterday, with FREGE suffering heavy losses. An earlier skirmish outside the station in the R3P0-Z system between the FREGE forces and two Ka-Tet carriers served as a preface for the heavy fighting to come. After Ka-Tet intelligence located the FREGE fleet in L1YK-V, a Ka-Tet cyno pilot set up a jump point for his carriers and prepared for the attack. Only four Ka-Tet [...]
Molea, Khanid - During the past several months, the landmark cemetery created by Azia Burgi has recovered from previous violence and is now larger than ever. In September 110, the cemetery was destroyed by pilots belonging to JihadSwarm who considered this burial method to be a desecration of mortal remains. It has taken twenty-two months for Azia Burgi to rebuild her cemetery and to surpass its former size. According to Taak Coram, a capsuleer who regularly flies from Placid to donate corpses to the [...]
